[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1402457, member: 104942"] My first vintage restore project! (Unless you count the 1985 KLR-250 I restored, or my 1995 KDX-200 I rebuilt from the ground up)... Got it cheap from a sympathetic seller, a bike enthusiast who was happy to see (a) more space in his garage and (b) somebody who looked like they were actually going to restore the bike and put it back on the road. So he made me a deal I couldn't refuse. It's missing a carb cover (the carb goes under the engine cover on this bike, probably breathes lousy, but looks really cool) and missing a carb (Mikuni VM30, so no problem there). most of the rest of the bike is there and intact. It also needs chain guards (which I can probably fabricate) and a front fender (which I bet is unobtanium, so I'll have to leave it off or find something else I can put on there that looks reasonable) and tail lights and turn signals. The motor is locked up... so I am probably looking at a new piston and possibly a new cylinder liner. And lots of nuts and bolts need cleaned, replaced, reworked, etc. Also, oddly, the shifter is currently set up on the right, and the brake on the left. Looks easy to swap back around, but I wonder why somebody had it rigged that way... Looks like a fun project! Anyone have any experience with a rotary valve two stroke Kawasaki? [/QUOTE]
